The PACEdge industrial edge platform is designed to help manufacturers accelerate digital transformation projects by enabling users to create and scale up performance-improving applications quickly. The platform simplifies application development by bringing together open-source tools into a flexible, integrated and secure platform for using machine data and analytics. The release coincides with the launch of the company’s PACSystems RXi2-BP edge computer, a small form-factor industrial PC that enables high-performance analytics to be run close to the machine. The platform helps users collect, analyze, store and serve up machine data securely near the source or across enterprise systems.
